Be sure to know all about session cookies. By default, PHP stores the 
session in a cookie

We have set up a login page using sessions in PHP. Its working fine. 
The server is a FreeBSD/Apache/PHP 4.

While accessing this page from IE 6 on Windows 2000, the sessions are

there any known issues of PHP using sessions with Windows 2000?

Could you please provide me the details?

Hi,

I use win2k and IE 6 every day with PHP, and it works fine. I guess your problem comes 
from the Internet Options of IE (tools/Internet Options). As Miguel Jiménez suggested, 
check the cookie setting in the Internet Options.

[PHP] Re: phpedit

[Saulius]

it does take quite some time even on a fast machine if you install all the
packages. and then if you don't have those packages ready in your hard disk,
it needs to download them (~12 Mb), then it all depends on your connection.

[Sheni R. Meledath]

Hi,

Thank you very much for your comments. We are facing a similar problem in 
one of local systems which has Windows 2000 & IE 6.0. Now one of the users 
has complained about the same problem. His system configuration is the same 
as above.

In one of the news groups, I have read before about a similar problem with 
the same configuration. That's why we doubted about the session setting on 
a Windows 2000 server.

Depends how you are accessing MySQL ;)

Tell me how do you interface firebird with PHP?
Interbase module - Firebird is a totally free development that came out 
when Borland announced they were killing Interbase. The original 
designer is now back on board working on a proper 64 bit port which 
should be available soon.
But I actually use ADOdb on top of PHP and can switch database as 
required. Very useful for moving from other databases TO Firebird.

By the way, my problem with my statement is still lingering, so far I'm
having to create a temporary table and then searching with that.
Can't help with MySQL, I'd be creating a VIEW in Firebird and using that 
as the source :)

[PHP] Implementing compulsory fields in a mySQL driven, SMARTY templated site?

[Tom]

Hello.

As per the subject: I am using PHP, mySQL and Smarty for
a web site with lots of forms everywhere. The site is
split into display, content and logic. And I want to
introduce the concept of mandatory fields.
Manually editing all the content files to mark the
mandatory fields and matching them 'manually' in the
logic scripts is one solution, but I am racking my
brains to move more towards a way of a full management
suite - being able to set the mandatory fields on a
page on the site in the site itself.
I appreciate that the first solution is much more
realistic than the latter, but a sensible, middle-
ground solution is still evading me.
Has anyone got any ideas, suggestion, solutions or
handy links to forums that have tackled this problem?
Thanks much :)

would be translated to the form of files and site update can be done 
this way. The question is - does anybody know actual script for doing 
that? I'm not really advanced PHP developer so any help or suggestion

For accessing the POP3 mail server you could use PEAR's Net_POP3 class:

http://pear.php.net/package/Net_POP3


Haven't tried it myself yet, though.

that I don't go there anymore, and I'm not up to paying a hefty chunk to

Suppose for a moment that this list turned into a newsgroup instead of a
mailing list.  What would those same people causing problems on the
existing list use to access the news server?  Outhouse.  And so what
would happen to the headers and the threading?  The same thing.

The problem is endemic to the users, and so the only solution must be
applied there.  Changing over to a new server won't matter at all.

% News servers are cheaper, faster, easier to use, more accessible, easier 
% to archive than mailing lists. That's why I dont see the point of 
% mailing list being primary to php.net.

Because mailing lists are good.  Mailing lists give the recipients more
control and, in this day and age of easy connectivity, make more sense
than replicating a news store everywhere.  I'm sorry if that doesn't
serve your needs well, and I am glad there is a mail-to-news gateway
which should provide a news server for you, but such a thing sure doesn't
serve me (as an example) -- since I only get to read in chunks, I'd miss
countless posts because they'd expire off of the news server before I got
there, whereas when they're safely locked up in my mailbox I can get them
any time I need to.

Don't get me started on the whole spam problem, either.  All of the
newsgroups I've loved over the years have gone downhill due to being
flooded with spam.  I could be wrong, but I don't know of any news spam
cleaners; they're all meant for email.

Mail is good.  News is less so, though it has its place.

Because by the time you get to the fourth or fifth reply, just as in this

quote markers and be nearing the 80-char screen limit after all.

For something so small I'd go with a text file unless you happen to
already really know and love your database server -- and it's not doing
much anyway.  The real time savings will come in your programming and
maintenance rather than in file access, so do whatever is easiest for
you.

My guess is that a straight file, even under something as bad as Windows
on an ATA disk, will be faster because of the overhead of talking to the
database; DBs shine when they have tons of data, not ounces.

[PHP] Mathematical expression calculation function?

[Enfors Christer]

Hi. I need a function that takes a mathematical expression in the form of a string, 
and calculates the result. PHP itself doesn't seem to provide one. I need something 
which can handle strings like:

  10*73.2+3-(4*358.2874)/352

... and so on. If it handles functions (like cos(), pow(), exp()) too, then that would 
be great.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] mysql version

select version as version; if used directly in the server (i.e. mysql)...

if you want to use it in php:
$query="select version() as mysql_version";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die();

if(!$result){
echo "cant determine mysql version";
} else {
//whatever you want to do with it

It's happening because you are sending other than text formatted e-mails

[PHP] Activate function in another frame

[Jeff McKeon]

My PHP website displays data from our database.  Sometimes the sql pulls
take a while.  I'd like to give some visual aid to the user that the
script is still working.  The site is made up of two frames, a left side
frame that contains the menu and a main frame that all the pages load
into.  

Is there a way to start a process in the menuframe as soon as a page in
the main frame begins to load and then kill it when the main page is
finished loading?

The idea here is to put some kind of function with an animated gif or
progress bar in the left side frame page and start it running as a page
is loading in the main frame, then stop the function after the page in
the main frame has finished loading.

Thanks!

Jeff

Yeah I thought it would probably involve some javascript.  I'm just not

frameset.  I know there is a way, I just don't know the mechanics of it.

Well, Perl is older and has four letters in it's name.  PHP has youth on 
it's side.  Perl is a Camel and PHP is a bird (Thrush or Roadrunner...I 
don't know my birds).  Perl is misspelled more often than PHP.  Perl is 
Larry, and PHP is Rasmus.

[PHP] install IIS ISAPI

[Vincent DUPONT]

Hi,

I use to install PHP under IIS as a ISAPI module. So I add a ISAPI filter and define a 
new App mapping in 'configure'

When looking at the documentation (see http://be.php.net/manual/en/install.iis.php, 
"Windows NT/2000/XP and IIS 4 or newer") I can read : 
"If you don't want to perform HTTP Authentication using PHP, you can (and should) skip 
this step. Under ISAPI Filters, add a new ISAPI filter. Use PHP as the filter name, 
and supply a path to the php4isapi.dll. 
"

If I understand well, we should skip this step whe possible.
I don't use HTTP authentcation, but I always add a ISAPI filter to my IIS config. Why 
should we avoid this??

I tried to remove the ISAPI filter and restart IIS. Everything seems Ok

Vincent

I've always wondered why the docs recommend to skip this step and have
commented on it in the past. I don't use HTTP Authentication, either, but
I've never gotten PHP to work under IIS without adding an ISAPI filter.

Last email went straight to Curt by mistake.  Basically said thanks.

I suspect this is a pretty wide ranging problem, and if you are using
redhat/fedora and have sensitive data you are writing to disk expecting
the default umask,  I would check it out.

I've heard of some doc->html/text and pdf->html/text converters. You could
convert them to that format (since you're just after the text, right?), and
then search them that way. Might be able to use COM if you're on a Windows

Hi, Paul. Try this instead.

$x = 65;
for ($i=0; $i<26; $i++)
{
echo chr($x);
$x++;
}

Set $x to 97 to get lowercase letters.

Overtime I need to rewrite my DB loading script to handle this for me,
but right now I need to band-aid it so that I can auto-generate pages
and get them loaded into a catalog.

Thanks!

[PHP] Adding includes to files

[Robert Sossomon]

I need to add PHP calls to include a file to each page as it is
generated, the only thing is I can't get the includes to come through
correctly:


   $display_block .= "";
   $display_block .= "";


At the end of the generation I write $display_block to a file as
$display_block holds all the data it accumulates through the run.  How
do I rewrite the inlclude to work, or do I need to find another way to
make the includes?  The includes are all template files that I used on
the site to keep everything consistent.

Thanks,
Robert

You can use output buffering:

ob_start();
include("nav/top_nav.html"); 
include("nav/side_nav.html"); 
$display_block = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

That will. Depending on what $str is coming from, make sure you're
validating it somewhat so there's not any malicious PHP code injected (for
example $str = 'file_get_contents("secretfile.txt")' )

'A' is less than 'Z' when we're talking about strings. Same as '1000' is
less than '2' when compared as strings. Doesn't really answer "why", but
that's just how it is. :)

Re: [PHP] Adding includes to files

You could either include the files without assigning the contents to a
variable - but that would display those right away:
   

or you could read the contents of the file like:

You really shouldn't have to manually seralize and unserialize the 
values. The session will do that automatically. Serializing yourself 
just means that the object is going to be serialized twice.

$_SESSION['class'] = new Class();

return $_SESSION['class'];

Hi

I was wondering about includes and classes. I have a class in which

How does a member variable control this?  E.g. you set the member 
variable in the constructor and then include some config file?

Now if i do this in the constructor
i can't seem to be able to use the variables found in my config in the 
other
member functions.


Yeah, this can be a little confusing.  When you include a file in a 
function, it only gains the scope of that function.  I.e. variables in 
the included file are only available to that function.  What you can do, 
however, is to assign the config variables to an array in the object.



class someClass
{
function someClass($param) {
// Include the config file
if (21 == $param) {
include_once 'config21.php';
}
// Bring the config variables into this object
foreach ($config as $varname => $value) {
$this->config['varname'] = $value;
}
}
}
?>

Obviously the above method is a little messy.  A better way to handle 
this would be object overloading with __set() and __get(), which is 
available in PHP4 with a few commands and PHP5 uses it by default.

http://www.php.net/overload

(I wouldn't be too afraid of the experimental warning, overloading in 
PHP5 is pretty much the same as in PHP4, and looks like it's here to stay).
Or in your config.php use $GLOBALS['varName'] = 'value'; That would 
clear the whole thing up without extra storing in the object.

Suppose for a moment that this list turned into a newsgroup instead of a

would happen to the headers and the threading?  The same thing.
The problem is endemic to the users, and so the only solution must be
applied there.  Changing over to a new server won't matter at all.
% 
% News servers are cheaper, faster, easier to use, more accessible, easier

% mailing list being primary to php.net.

Because mailing lists are good.  Mailing lists give the recipients more
control and, in this day and age of easy connectivity, make more sense
than replicating a news store everywhere.  I'm sorry if that doesn't
serve your needs well, and I am glad there is a mail-to-news gateway
which should provide a news server for you, but such a thing sure doesn't
serve me (as an example) -- since I only get to read in chunks, I'd miss
countless posts because they'd expire off of the news server before I got
there, whereas when they're safely locked up in my mailbox I can get them
any time I need to.
There is no expiring off of this news server. It's the same as the 
mailing list archives. You can go right back to beginning, so that's not 
an issue.

Don't get me started on the whole spam problem, either.  All of the
newsgroups I've loved over the years have gone downhill due to being
flooded with spam.  I could be wrong, but I don't know of any news spam
cleaners; they're all meant for email.
The spam on the newsgroup and the mailing list are the same as they're 
the same thing. A post to either creates a message on both sides. I'm 
currently posting this message via the newsgroup. The difference between 
this and other (global) newsgroups is that this (and the other PHP 
newsgroups) aren't part of the global newsgroup system. It's its own 
server, so spammers don't get to it unless they look for it...and who 
would want to spam such a small system?

Mail is good.  News is less so, though it has its place.

Both are good. I like the newsgroup better than e-mail for this kind of 
interaction, though. It allows easy viewing and reading without having 
to get every single message.

Hi Paul.

Since you're dealing with a string, A is less than AA which will be less
than Z.  It's stopping at YZ because if it were to increment once more,
it would be ZZ, which (again, because this is a string) is greater than
Z so thus the loop exits.

HTH.

That's just basic pop before smtp. A common way of authenticating.
Just make a connection to the pop server after the hello and  before

[PHP] regular expressions php/perl/actionscript

[Gabino Travassos]

Hello

I'm wondering if Regular Expressions are the same in Perl and PHP (and
possibly Actionscript)? They look the same and smell the same, but if I see
a book in a store for Perl Regular Expressions that's $10 cheaper than the
PHP one (is there one?), then is it the same thing?

While we're on this topic, I'm looking to find an attribute in an XML and
replace it with a string variable I get from a form.

I can use:
$bgClrOld = preg_match('/backColour/',$s);  //  1
to find the attribute, but how do I find and replace
   backColour="a3b4c5"
with
   backColour=$bgClrNew
?

TIA

Sure it will allow you to change *some* of the ini variables, but that

Any thoughts?

rtfm on ini_set()

That's not going to help the OP load a seperate ini file for virtual 
domains.  ini_set() is good if you only need to change a few settings, 
but it would be a pain to set all the ini settings (not to mention that 
I don't think ini_set() will change all the ini settings).

i'd get the perl book over the php book personally. but then again i'm
pretty sure there is not a "perl regex" book, nor is there a "php regex"
book. there's probably just a regex book. you as the user have to decide
what works where.

this page will tell you what php supports:

on most servers ini_set will be the best you can hope for

security settings won't allow alternative php.ini file reads

that's why

[PHP] Conditional Functions

[Anguz]

Hello,

I was wondering if using conditional functions would save resources. The 
thing is that there's many functions in the code I'm using, but most 
aren't used in each case. I was thinking that maybe, even if the 
functions are in the included files, I could not define them making them 
conditional. Would this benefit the script? How? TIA.

OP is on a virtual server
real world experience says ini_set is going to be what you can do

sorry for being cryptic and abrupt, but short answer seemed best

The regular expressions used in the preg_* functions "closely resembles
Perl". The basic syntax is the same. The regular expressions used in the
ereg_* functions are POSIX-Extended.

how do you not define a function but put it in an include file at the
same time and still have it be useable?

Maybe you could group them by purpose and put them into different include
files. Then you just include the file containing the functions you need at
this point in the script.

Re: [PHP] regular expressions php/perl/actionscript

[Gabino Travassos]

I forgot to mention that in my XML file, inside the quotes in this attribute
>>> backColour="xx"  the x's will be variable..., so I need some kind of
wildcard to select everything from "backColour" + the next 8 or 9
characters, cuz it might be backColour="333990" or whatnot.

'backColour' will be a unique string in the XML file, but I'll have those
quotes and a variable RGB hex value to find and replace.

Can I do something like
$bgClrOld = ereg_match('/backColour/'+8chr,$s);
?

Merci

Alternatively, try this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php

"PCRE" == "Perl-compatible Regular Expressions".

The ereg functions use a slightly different syntax.

[PHP] require_once('') relative path problem

[Sheeraz fazal]

Hi,
I have problem in undertanding the require_once/require/include/include_once
functionality. Php files in my project are located in different folders.
Some folders have common files for other files. And file layout is like this

/*
File: a.php
*/
require_once('../test/db.php');
...


/*
File: db.php
*/
require_once('../globals/global.php');
...


when i include a.php in another file i get error for global.php file that
path could not be found. And if i correct the path in db.php then someother
file which is using db.php will get error. So, can someone elaborate that
how relative path works in require_once. what is the starting directory for
require_once function which is using relative path.

Or

Is there any way that i can included some constant which include the
absolute path from which all relative paths can be determined?

Comments welcome.

Re: [PHP] regular expressions php/perl/actionscript

[Gabino Travassos]

Thanks for the suggestions. Between the online manual and the books I have I
think I'll get there eventually. Sometimes my logic just sux. What I needed
to do was have the user fill out a form and if they make changes to the XML
file I would update the file. So, my long way around was to go through the
old XML file and create a string variable for every possible form field.
Then I would compare the /bgClrOld/ to /bgClr/ and if they were different I
would then update the file with an ereg_replace.

After some poking around, this seems to be the way to go. Only if the field
is not empty so I change it

if ($bgClr !=""){
$bgClr="xx";
}

I still have some work to do, but ...

RE: [PHP] require_once('') relative path problem

[Tyler Replogle]

hey,
i didn't quite get when you ment by that but have you tried using 
$DOCUMENT_ROOT before your path, that might help it will be something like 
this
require_once('$DOCUMENT_ROOT/test/db.php');
$DOCUMENT_ROOT  goes to your first folder that shows up online (where your 
index page is)

For stuff like this I've always found the following slightly easier on the
eyes:

if (!in_array($cat_id, array('53', '54', '55', '117', '118', '74')))

YMMV...

Regards,
Torsten Roehr
[/snip]

The functions are already grouped in different files, but even then, not 
all the functions included are used every time. The thing is, that 
there's too many different values for $action and each has it's own set 
of functions used. So creating an include file tailor-made for each one 
is a bit difficult, specially since many functions are used in more than 
one action.

So I thought that maybe I could only define the needed ones in each 
case, although there's more in the include file. Example:

if ($in_array('Hello', $functionArray))
{
function Hello()
{
echo 'Hello';
}
}
I understand that the whole php file will be parsed, or does the parser 
skip the whole block inside the if when the condition is not met? But 
even if it is parsed, if the condition is not met, I believe that the 
function won't be defined, so I assume this would at least save RAM or 
something, right? Or not at all?

TIA,
Anguz
